Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9949269A1] A cage like compactor and dryer apparatus comprising a cylindrical body (10) formed by conduits (11) arranged according to its generatrix lines and run through by a heat transfer fluid intended to heat the waste material contained therein (textile or foodstuff wastes, municipal solid wastes). The individual conduits (11) are spaced apart so as to form vapour outflow paths for the water vapour, having longitudinal dimension corresponding to the whole heating length of the cylindrical body (10). Pressure plates (14) form the mobile bases of the cylindrical body (10) in order to generate the needed axial pressure. Suitable hoops (12) arranged in spaced apart relation constrain said conduits (11) in order to withstand the radial components of the longitudinal forces. The ground connections of the cylindrical body (10), when it is horizontally mounted, are realised by running trolleys (15) aimed at minimising the stresses generated by the temperature variations.
